What are the different test results for BRCA mutations and what do they mean?

- positive: disease-associated mutation identified
- negative: no mutation identified in tested gene, could have other mutations
- variant of uncertain significance: variant mutations are identified but these may be benign or deleterious

- Should not: if the cancer is typically reserved to those older than 18 (breast cancer screening usually starts at 25)
- Should: if cancer noticed under 18 (Familial Adenomatous Polyposis need to screen kids under 5 for hepatoblastoma and colonoscopy yearly at 10-12)
